1) Describe how their organisations service offer meets customer expectations.
In this particular type of industry it is impossible to offer some “service offers” that other companies may be able to offer. We can’t offer big sales, buy one get one free and other types of promotions that companies follow. The cost of materials keeps rising and in order to keep competitive we do only sell work at a fair price, not like some other double glazing companies where they price very high so that they can appear to offer the customer a one off special offer with a discount by bringing the price down. We like to remain fair at all times.
Other types of service offers we do offer though are to do with 10 year guarantees against the windows and doors where we will replace or fix any issues that could occur free of charge.
2) Explain how their organisations service offer is affected by financial and other resource limitations.
The companies’ service offer could be affected by financial and other resource limitations because if we were hoping to give a ‘sale’ on windows and doors and there wasn’t a huge profit gap to start with for us to try this technique out then it would never be beneficial to us, we could ultimately end up losing money. As we are a fair company when it comes to...

Introduction to CustomerService
We all know when we have received bad customerservice – when sales assistants
are too busy chatting to serve us, when staff in a restaurant or store are rude
and unfriendly, when the call centre puts us on hold for half an hour, or when our
complaints are handled badly.
But what is good customerservice?
Customers have expectations. They want an efficient and polite service before, during
and after a transaction (buying or using products or services). They want good quality
products and services, and they want any complaints and problems...

Introduction
The fast pace of advances in industrialized locations has increased the need for service, a process that creates benefits by facilitating either a change in customers, a change in their physical possessions, or a change in their intangible assets as described by wordiq.com. Though the service industry is a very lucrative venture to invest in, it is faced with quite a number of challenges. Variability in expectations and perceptions of customer and lack of homogeneity are just some of the problems. Services are typically modified for each client or each new situation (customized). This there could be a problem of inconsistent quality. Both inputs and outputs to the processes involved providing services are highly variable, as are the relationships between these processes, making it difficult to maintain consistent quality. But the bottom-line is that every customer should be satisfied to stay competent in this industry. After all, in every business, it’s always about the customer.

Starbucks Case Analysis: Delivering CustomerService
Abstract
Headquarted in Seattle, Washington, Starbucks is the dominant brand as the provider of premium coffee beans, coffee-based beverages, and non-caffeinated beverages. Starbucks opened its first location in 1971 at Pike Place Market in Seattle. Starbucks’ main proposition is to create an “experience” around the event of drinking coffee that its consumers would incorporate into the routines of their daily lives. Currently, Starbucks’ services over 20 million customers in over 5,000 stores around the globe. Starbucks has achieved this expansion with little advertising. However, it has been shown that the customers’ expectations are not being met in terms of customer satisfaction.
Background
The origin of Starbucks dates back to 1971 when three coffee fanatics – Gerald Baldwin, Gordon Bowker, and Ziev Siegl – opened a small coffee shop, as all three had a passion for fresh coffee. They began selling fresh-roasted, gourmet coffee beans and brewing and roasting accessories. In 1982, Howard Schultz joined the Starbucks marketing team, and then he traveled to Italy where he became fascinated with the Italian coffee culture. A few years later, he gave new life to the company when he set up an espresso bar that was inspired by the coffeehouse culture of Italy....
